We’re Getting The “Smash” Soundtrack Somebody Undoubtedly Asked For

Do you rewatch the scintillating musical numbers from Smash over and over again? Or is your reaction more like Broadway Abridged’s: “Katharine McPhee: Ive sung my obligatory pop number. Do I get paid now?” (From their recaps, which are required reading.) NBC’s banking that at least some of you are the former, because those numbers–the pop-song covers plus the Marilyn Monroe plot pieces, the old stuff and the Ryan Tedder-penned stuff–are being compiled for a soundtrack out March 1.

Emily: “Most of them are the covers they do on the show. Very Glee–but unlike Glee‘s covers, they probably won’t do better than the originals. …And I don’t think they’re that great.”Samantha: “Extremely boring. Kind of like Smash‘s lead.”

Noted. But if those reactions make you upset, perhaps you’ll be interested in the tracklisting, below:
